Kind, Comprehensive, & Proven with a 100% Success Rate. We’re ready to join Team YOU!

Our Guarantee

By working with us, we promise you will be confident, prepared, and motivated to tackle the college audition process and stand out in a competitive market.


My College Audition ("MCA") provides one-on-one coaching, training and mentoring for the competitive college audition process and prepare students for a lifetime of success in the arts. Founded in 2008, we have helped hundreds of students discover, prepare for and be accepted to their dream performing arts schools.


Our philosophy and training are rooted in kindness and empathy. We promote individuality and encourage students to strengthen and embrace their distinctive "voice" in this competitive field. We work to illuminate the student's strengths by fostering their unique traits and abilities as well as, provide support and tangible resources to help improve weaknesses.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At My College Audition, we are dedicated to providing access and opportunity through the intentional inclusion of all in our community of students, parents, families, coaches and faculty. We are committed to providing a welcoming and accessible space for people of any identity or background including but not limited to: race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, religion, age and ability. We advocate for and hold ourselves accountable to create a community that is inclusive and proactive in learning from and listening to all perspectives by acknowledging experiences. 

It is extremely important to us to continue to expand our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion beyond the statement above; to support our intentions not just with words, but with action. While we are proud of the diverse perspectives represented in our coaching staff, our commitment to gender inclusion training for our team, and our growing scholarship fund aimed at elevating students in underrepresented groups, we feel strongly that this work is never finished. As a part of the pipeline that feeds into pre-professional training programs and the performing arts industry as a whole, we feel a duty to continue learning about and implementing ways in which we can expand access to our world's stages and screens.

We truly appreciate feedback, and we are listening. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with thoughts on how we can do better.
